Description

  The present invention relates to a temporary toilet that can be used by assembling it at the time of a disaster or holding an event such as an outdoor flea market.

  Conventionally, in a construction site or the like, since a use period is limited, a temporary toilet that can be moved may be installed. Such a temporary toilet is generally configured to include a box-shaped room provided with a toilet and a filth tank integrally provided therebelow. In such a temporary toilet, the size of the filth tank is usually set in accordance with the size of the room in order to make the size of the minimum installation area where the toilet can be used. When the amount of filth in the filth tank reaches a certain amount, the filth in the filth tank is taken out by a vacuum car or the like.

In the case of the temporary toilet having the above-described configuration, the total number of users, the daily usage amount, and the like are almost determined by the capacity of the filth tank. For example, when the number of people to be used is very large, such as in an outdoor concert, the amount of filth often reaches a certain level, and the toilet may not be usable unless the filth is effectively removed. . Thus, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a filth tank is made removable so that the toilet can be used continuously without taking out the filth by replacing the filth tank.
JP 2005-65886 A

  In recent years, in the event of a disaster such as an earthquake, even if multiple temporary toilets such as those described above are installed in large school evacuation areas such as schoolyards and parks, the number of users is very large. It often happens that the limit that can be used in time is exceeded. In such a case, also in the thing of patent document 1, a filth tank must be replaced and the replaced thing must be carried out from a wide area evacuation site to a treatment plant. However, in such a wide-area evacuation site, since many people have secured a place to live by evacuating, it may be difficult to enter and exit a vacuum car or a truck for carrying out a filth tank. As a result, even though there was a temporary toilet, it became impossible to use.

  Therefore, the present invention aims to eliminate such problems.

  That is, the temporary toilet of the present invention includes a toilet bowl provided with a toilet bowl, a toilet wall assembly that is folded when not in use and blocks the toilet bowl from an external view when in use, and a toilet bowl body and a toilet wall assembly.

Therefore, it becomes possible to construct a toilet quickly as needed. Moreover, since at least a part of the storage tank is embedded, the capacity of the storage tank can be increased. Therefore, even when there are many users at the time of a disaster, for example, the situation where the storage tank becomes full and becomes unusable can be suppressed as much as possible, such as stored filth in the storage tank The number of times of taking out can be greatly reduced. In addition, if a large-capacity storage tank is used, it is possible to supply drinking water or the like in the event of a disaster if water is stored inside when not in use.

  To facilitate assembly, the toilet wall assembly includes a left side plate such that the toilet wall assembly is superimposed on the front plate, the left and right side plates, and the rear plate and on one side of the rear plate when not in use. A first coupling mechanism that pivotably couples the rear plate, and a second coupling mechanism that pivotally couples the right side plate and the rear plate so as to be superimposed on the other surface side of the rear plate when not in use. It is preferable to include a third connecting mechanism that rotatably connects the right side plate and the front plate so that the front plate can be superimposed on the right side plate when not in use. With such a configuration, the toilet can be used within a short period of time, and a quicker response is possible compared to what is carried in from other places.

  In order to simplify the structure, the first, second and third coupling mechanisms are attached to the other plate with the first tube member attached to one plate and the first tube member and the axis aligned. What consists of a 2nd cylinder member and the 1st connection spindle which penetrates a 1st cylinder member and a 2nd cylinder member is preferable. If it is such a structure, it will become possible to connect each paired board produced separately so that rotation is possible by penetrating a 1st spindle and a 1st and 2nd cylinder member. .

  In order to further facilitate the assembly of the toilet wall assembly, it is preferable to further include a fourth connection mechanism that rotatably connects the rear plate to the storage tank. Specifically, the fourth connecting mechanism includes a rear plate side cylindrical member attached to the rear plate, a tank side cylindrical member attached to the upper surface of the storage tank with the rear plate side cylindrical member and the axis aligned, and the rear plate. What consists of a 2nd connection spindle which penetrates a side cylinder member and a tank side cylinder member is mentioned.

  In order to ensure the fixation when the toilet wall assembly is assembled, it is preferable to provide a fixing structure for fixing the left and right side plates to the storage tank between the lower ends of the storage tank and the left and right side plates. Examples of such a fixing structure include a fixing plate portion provided on the upper surface of the storage tank and a fixing tool for fixing the left and right side plates to the fixing plate portion. Bolts and nuts can be used as the fixture.

  In the above configuration, in order to reduce the bulk when not in use, the storage tank has an attachment recess into which the toilet bowl is fitted on the upper surface, and the toilet passes through the toilet bowl attached to the toilet bowl when not in use. A thing provided with a through-hole is desirable.

  In order to harmonize with the surrounding scenery when not in use and to be part of the toilet wall assembly assembled at the time of use, it comprises a covering member that covers the toilet bowl and the folded toilet wall assembly when not in use, It is preferable that the covering member has a bench shape and is placed on a toilet wall assembly assembled in use.

  In such a configuration, when not in use, the toilet wall assembly and toilet bowl are covered with a covering member, so use the surrounding space or land without being aware of the temporary toilet. Is possible. Therefore, it is possible to increase the use efficiency of land and the like.

  The present invention is configured as described above, and is not in the form of a toilet when not in use. However, a toilet bowl and a toilet wall assembly are stacked in a storage tank, and the toilet can be quickly assembled by assembling it when necessary. Can be built. In addition, since at least a part of the storage tank is buried, the capacity of the storage tank can be increased, and even when there are many users at the time of a disaster, for example, the storage tank is full and cannot be used Can be suppressed as much as possible, and the number of times of taking out the filth stored in the storage tank can be greatly reduced.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

The fourth connecting mechanism 12 of this embodiment is provided with a tank side cylinder member 12b at a position sandwiching the rear plate side cylinder member 12a.

  The left side plate 7 has its front end bent in the direction of the right side plate 8 and is formed so that the front plate 6 overlaps the outer surface of the bent portion when used. Similarly, the front end portion of the right side plate 8 is also bent, and the rotation range of the front plate 6 is increased by connecting the front plate to the bent portion.

  Next, the front plate 6 is rotatably connected to the right side plate 8 by the third connecting mechanism 13 so as to be superimposed on the inner side surface of the right side plate 8 when not in use. The third connecting mechanism 13 includes a right front cylinder member 13a attached to the right side plate 8, a front cylinder member 13b attached to the front plate 6 with the right front cylinder member 8a aligned with the axis, a right front cylinder member 13a and a front cylinder member. And a front connecting support shaft 13c penetrating through 13b. Such cylindrical members 10a, 10b, 11a, 11b, 12a, 13a, and 13b are formed by forming FRP in a cylindrical shape in predetermined portions of the plates 7, 8, 9, 6 and the storage tank 5, respectively. Also good.

  The toilet body 3 is formed by attaching the toilet 1 to a rectangular flat plate 3a, for example. In this embodiment, the toilet 1 uses a Japanese style one. The toilet bowl 1 may be of Western type.

  The storage tank 5 has an upper surface 5a that is longer than the toilet wall assembly 2 and larger than the width of the assembled toilet wall assembly 2, and leaves the upper surface 5a, and the other portion, in other words, the upper surface. 5a is exposed from the ground surface or foundation concrete, and the other part is partially embedded, and can store a liquid substance. The liquid material is water, filth, and the like. And, for example, until this temporary toilet 100 is used, water is stored in the storage tank 5 for an emergency, and when used, the stored water is taken out and used for drinking water, etc. The temporary toilet 100 stores filth. The storage tank 5 is provided with a recess 5b on the upper surface on one end side, and the bottom 5c of the recess 5b is sufficient for the toilet 1 to be placed inside the storage tank 5 corresponding to the toilet 1. A through-hole 5d is provided, and a fixing plate portion 16 constituting a fixing structure is provided on both the left and right sides of the recess 5b. The dimension of the longest part of the through hole 5d is set shorter than the dimension of the longest part of the flat plate 3a.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the recess 5 b is for fitting the toilet body 3. When the toilet body 3 is fitted in the recess 5 b, the upper surface of the flat plate 3 a of the toilet body 3 is substantially flush with the upper surface 5 a of the storage tank 5. It is formed to a depth that becomes. An opening (not shown) communicating with the inside of the storage tank 5 is formed in the vicinity of the other end of the upper surface 5a of the storage tank 5 and is closed so as to be openable and closable by a lid 15 except for business. In addition, although description and illustration are abbreviate | omitted, the toilet bowl 3 is fixed to the storage tank 5 by fastening or fixing tools, such as a volt | bolt (a stud is included) and a nut (an embedded nut is included) in use. Is.

  The fixed plate portion 16 is provided at substantially the same interval as the width of the rear plate 9 and is formed at a position corresponding to the positions of the left and right side plates 7 and 8 when the toilet wall assembly 2 is assembled. 16a. The fixing plate 16a includes, for example, three through-holes 16b through which bolts 17 (shown in FIG. 1) constituting the fixing member in the fixing structure pass, and the two plates are substantially parallel to the upper surface 5a of the storage tank 5, and are substantially It is formed vertically. Corresponding to the through hole 16b of the fixed plate 16a, bolt insertion holes 16c are formed in the left and right side plates 7 and 8.

  In such a configuration, when not in use, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the toilet body 3 is turned upside down, the toilet 1 is placed inside the storage tank 5, and is fitted into the recess 5b. 6, the toilet wall assembly 2 obtained by folding the left and right side plates 7, 8 and the rear plate 9 is placed on the upper surface 5a of the storage tank 5, and the toilet wall assembly 2 is covered from the outside by the covering member 4. (Shown in FIG. 4). Since the cover member 4 has an upper surface formed in a bench shape, the cover member 4 can be used as a bench when not in use. Therefore, when installed in a park or the like, there is no sense of incongruity with the surrounding landscape. The covering member 4 can be easily moved when necessary, but is detachably attached to the storage tank 5 so that it cannot be moved in other cases.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the toilet wall assembly 2 covered with the covering member 4 is folded and overlapped on the storage tank 5 as described below, and is covered and stored by the covering member 4. In this description, the inner side surface refers to the surface that is inside when the toilet wall assembly 2 is assembled, and the outer side surface refers to the surface that faces away from the inner side surface, that is, the toilet wall assembly 2 is assembled. The surface which becomes an outer side in the state of being in a state. The toilet wall assembly 2 overlaps the left and right side plates 7 and 8 and the front plate 6 with reference to the rear plate 9 that is rotatably connected to the storage tank 5 by the fourth connecting mechanism 12.

  First, the left side plate 7 is superimposed on the inner side surface of the rear plate 9 so that the inner side surface of the rear plate 9 and the inner side surface of the left side plate 7 are aligned. On the other hand, the right side plate 8 is superposed on the outer side surface of the rear plate 9. That is, the right side plate 8 has its outer side aligned with the outer side of the rear plate 9. The front plate 6 is superimposed on the inner surface of the right side plate 8 superimposed on the rear plate 9.

  Next, when constructing the temporary toilet 100, after separating the covering member 4 from the storage tank 5, the toilet wall assembly 2 is assembled, and then the toilet body 3 is set in a use state.

  Assembling of the toilet wall assembly 2 is first performed until the toilet wall assembly 2 that has been folded is almost vertical in the folded state as shown in FIG. Since the rear plate 9 is pivotally connected to the storage tank 5 by the fourth connecting mechanism 12 at the lower end thereof, the raising operation can be easily performed without moving the lower end.

  After that, from the state of FIG. 6A, the left side plate 7 on the inner surface of the rear plate 9 is rotated by approximately 90 degrees and moved to the fixed plate 16a (FIG. 6B). By temporarily fixing the lower end of the left side plate 7 to the fixed plate 16a, the lower end of the rear plate 9 and the lower end of the left side plate 7 become immovable with respect to the storage tank 5. The assembly 2 is in a self-supporting state. In this state, the right side plate 8 is rotated together with the front plate 6 from the outer surface side of the rear plate 9 by approximately 180 degrees and moved to the side of the rear plate 9 ((c) in FIG. 6). ). Then, at this side position, the front plate 6 superimposed on the inner surface side of the right side plate 8 is rotated by approximately 90 degrees and separated from the right side plate 8 ((d) in FIG. 6). Next, while maintaining the state in which the front plate 6 is opened from the right side plate 8, the right side plate 8 is rotated approximately 90 degrees toward the inner side surface direction of the rear plate 9. By rotating the right side plate 8, the right side plate 8 reaches the right fixed plate 16a ((e) of FIG. 6). Thereafter, the left side plate 7 and the right side plate 8 are fixed to the fixing plate 16a with bolts and nuts.

  When the toilet wall assembly 2 assembled into a rectangular tube shape is set on the upper surface of the storage tank 5 by the above operation, a recess for attaching the toilet body 3 to the upper surface 5a of the storage tank 5 surrounded by the toilet wall assembly 2 Since 5b is located, the toilet bowl 3 is set. Until the toilet bowl 3 is used, the toilet bowl 1 is fitted in the recess 5b in a state in which the toilet bowl 1 is stored in the storage tank 5. Therefore, the toilet body 3 is once taken out from the recess 5b so that the toilet 1 can be used, and is fitted into the recess 5b with the toilet 1 facing upward (shown in FIG. 3B). Finally, the covering member 4 is fixed to the upper end of the toilet wall assembly 2 so that the covering member 4 functions as a roof of the toilet assembly 2. As a result, the toilet is provided with the toilet 1 installed inside the toilet wall assembly 2. The cover member 4 may be fixed to the toilet assembly 2 with bolts and nuts.

  As described above, the front plate 6, the left and right side plates 7, 8 and the rear plate 9 constituting the toilet wall assembly 2 are rotatably connected by the corresponding connecting mechanisms 10, 11, 12, 13 respectively. Therefore, almost no tools are required to assemble this, so that it can be assembled even if it is not familiar with assembly. Moreover, since the rear plate 9 is rotatably connected to the storage tank 5 by the fourth connecting mechanism 12, the toilet wall assembly 2 can be installed without falling down without firmly fixing the left and right side plates 7 and 8. The state is maintained.

  Therefore, it takes only a short time until the toilet can be used, and the toilet can be prepared more quickly than when the toilet is carried into a wide area evacuation site or the like. Moreover, by making the storage tank 5 buried, its storage capacity can be dramatically increased compared to conventional temporary toilets, and it is possible to easily cope with cases where the number of users is very large. it can.

  In the above embodiment, the toilet wall assembly 2, the toilet body 3, and the storage tank 5 have been described as being one by one. The toilet wall assembly 2 and two toilet bodies (not shown) may be provided. In this case, in the figure, the toilet wall assembly 2 is arranged so that the front plates of the toilet wall assembly 2 face each other. Also good. In the case of this example, needless to say, the storage tank 205 has a length and capacity that is twice or more that of the storage tank 5 of the above embodiment, and the rest of the toilet wall assembly 2 and the toilet body are the same as those of the above embodiment. The same configuration may be used.

  The toilet wall assembly can be assembled to the storage tank by, for example, providing a groove on the upper surface of the storage tank, fitting the lower end portions of the rear plate and the left and right side plates into the groove, and engaging the groove with each plate. An assembly may be assembled and assembled to the storage tank. That is, an engagement structure is provided between the upper surface of the storage tank and the lower end of the toilet wall assembly, and the toilet wall is assembled by engaging the toilet wall assembly with the storage tank. Even in this case, the front plate, the left and right side plates, and the rear plate of the toilet wall assembly are connected to each other so as to be rotatable in the same manner as the toilet wall assembly described above.

  In addition, each connection mechanism is not limited to the above-described one as long as it can connect a hinge or two members so as to be rotatable, and various configurations can be used.

  Further, the left and right side plates constituting the toilet wall assembly may be configured to be folded in two at the center in the direction that becomes the inner side when the toilet wall assembly is assembled. That is, the left and right side plates are composed of two flat plates of equal width, and their longitudinal edges are connected by a hinge so as to function as a single flat plate when used. In this case, the toilet wall assembly folds the left and right side plates and stores the folded side plates between the rear plate and the front plate. In other words, such left and right side plates are not particularly limited, and can be folded inward when not in use, that is, when the toilet wall assembly is not assembled, and cannot be folded when used. What is necessary is just to have a structure which functions as a single plate by being locked to.

  Similarly, the left and right side plates may have a structure in which a large number of bent portions are provided and can be superposed on each other like a so-called accordion door.

  In addition, the specific configuration of each part is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
